Abstract

This study presents an experimental investigation of multilayer oxygen-scavenging biodegradable polylactic acid films reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) derived from nata de coco and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), completed with a bibliometric analysis. Structure-property-function relationships were evaluated through morphology, mechanical performance, oxygen permeability, and biodegradability analyses. fMCC enhances matrix densification and mechanical strength while reducing oxygen permeability, although flexibility decreases. The incorporation of BHT further improves oxygen-scavenging performance. These findings support the development of advanced biodegradable packaging aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs).
